Yin dark damp water prison.

Tirrant's hands were clinged to the wall by two thick chains of rust, and the black-brown muddy sewage flooded his chest, his head hung down, his face pale, and the occasional faint breathing could only be felt by the sound of weak, labored breathing.

He is still alive, and life is better than death.

The cold and biting sewage was draining the rest of his life every moment, and the wound on his abdomen that had not yet healed had long been blistered, and his flesh turned white; With every breath, my chest was pressed by the sewage, and it was as painful as suffocation.

Suffering from endless mental pain, his heart will stop at any moment, and he will be on the verge of collapse......

Suddenly, the sewage that had flooded his chest began to slowly reced, and Tirrant tilted his head slightly, his closed eyes opening a gap, because, faintly, he heard footsteps coming.

When the sewage had receded, a dim light stung his eyes, and he turned his head slightly, and the sound of the door being opened was heard.

"Tirrant."

Someone suddenly called his name, familiar, strange.

"Who is it?"

As his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a hazy figure standing in front of him.

"Have you forgotten me? Collaborator. The man replied lightly.

"Is that you?"

He remembered the young man he had been talking to in the tunnel that day.

"It's really regrettable about the current situation, and maybe you should also know that many things are beyond our control."

The man looked at Tirrant and sighed lightly.

Tirrant laughed dryly, and said weakly: "I know, after being captured by them, I knew the cause and effect of Yiqiē." ”

"Then why are you unwilling to agree to the cooperation of those people, you should know that they are not your main enemies at this time, and in some ways they can even be said to be your temporary allies, if you agree to their demands early, otherwise you will not bear the current torture at all."

The man walked up to Tillant and looked at his swollen and white body soaked in sewage.

"Do you really think they're going to be kind to a culprit who killed their relatives?" Tirrant sneered. "Sometimes the result is the same as if you disagree."

Yes, among the nobles who captured him were the noble relatives of the members of the association whom he ordered to kill that day; If it weren't for his existential value, I am afraid that he would have been tortured by those people even more cruelly.

If they want to use him successfully to bring down the fourth prince, then the key premise is that he agrees to stand up and testify.

And will he stand up?

He will!

But not now!

So, here he is now.

"I hope you agree to their demands now." The man smiled and persuaded.

"Why?"

"When I came, I heard that they were going to force you to agree with harsher punishments, and although they won't let you die lightly, that kind of taste is definitely not something you want to try." The man patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry about their subsequent retaliation, at least I'm here now." ”

"The Great Prince?" Tirrant muttered.

"Maybe I'll take you away if necessary."

After the man finished speaking, he took a step back and said, "Tell me your decision." ”

"I promise—"

Xia Lan received more than one order from the eldest prince to take care of it.

In addition to ensuring Tirrant's personal safety, the other thing was to persuade Tirrant to accede to the nobles' demands, and to kill or kidnap them if necessary.

He was well aware of the Prince's concerns.

He was unwilling to have a direct showdown with His Majesty, and the closer he got to success, the more intense the crisis he suffered, and he did not have the confidence to confront his father, who had suppressed him for more than ten years; Rather than that, it is better to cut off the source of disturbing thoughts when necessary.

And this source is Tirrant!

As long as he dies, Sasso's plan to steadily ascend to the throne will return to its original trajectory again.

Play it safe!

That's Sasso's conservative insistence!

But when is the time necessary? That's an interesting question.

If the nobles knew that they had killed or kidnapped Tirrant, the eldest prince would have shifted all the blame to himself for forgiveness, and he would be in extreme danger.

In the end, he is a dispensable outcast after all.

"Hey, can you untie my chains now?"

At this time, Tirrant's voice was hoarse.

"I'm afraid not."

Xia Lan pointed out the door of the water cell and shook her head.

"What if I want to drink water?" Tirrant pleaded again.

"This one does."

After speaking, Xia Lan suddenly had a small transparent and pure white bottle in her hand, pulled the stopper, and Xia Lan slowly poured the bottle to Tirrant's dry and white mouth.

Pursing his lips, Tirrant moved his stiff neck, his eyes regained their former brightness, looked at the bottle in the other party's hand, and said, "What are you giving me to drink?" ”

"Advanced healing potions."

Xia Lan shook the empty transparent vial in front of him, then casually threw it aside, and said, "I said, they won't let you die lightly." ”

The corners of Tirrant's mouth showed a hint of disdain: "If I die, I'm afraid they will be the ones who regret it the most." ”

"Even so, you won't live long."

As soon as Xia Lan's words fell, Tirrant suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Can you promise me one thing?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"If I die, please bury my bones next to the graves of the members of the association who once died for me."

"Their tombs? They had no tombs, only a wasteland overgrown with weeds. ”

"I know, but that's where I'm going to be."

"If I have the chance, I will fulfill your wish."

"Thank you."

Tillant laughed with some difficulty, wolf Bèi's messy hair covering his face, and Xia Lan could vaguely see a glimmer of tears in the corners of his eyes.

His heart was actually dead that night at the academy, but he unexpectedly survived, and he lived to see the human tragedy of betrayal.

The dream is broken, the heart is dead, and hatred has become the meaning of his life.

Now, that hatred will also go to the grave of dreams.

So ridiculous, so humorous.

Suddenly, a piercing and audible sharp voice echoed in the dark passage of the water dungeon for a moment, Xia Lan's expression changed, and an ancient and sharp long sword instantly appeared in his hand.

"What happened?" Tirrant was also stunned by the sound of the siren.

"It's the highest alert they've put in place, and someone has broken into here." Xia Lan said with a solemn face.

"Looks like someone can't wait for my life."

Tillant seemed to think of something and began to mumble to himself.

"Who is it?" Xia Lan asked casually.

"Who do you think it is?" Tillant asked softly.

"His Majesty the King!"

After a moment of silence, Xia Lan and Tillant looked at each other in a low voice.

"Maybe you're going to die today."

Xia Lan sighed, if the person who broke into this place was really an assassin sent by His Majesty the King, then he would definitely not be able to fight it with his strength alone.

The hidden strength of the royal family will always be a mystery.

"I really want to take one last look at the starry purple moon in the night sky...... It's a pity ......"

In the dark water dungeon, illuminated by the dim light, Tirrant tilted his head and sighed in regret as he looked at the thick moss-covered walls.

Xia Lan walked out of the door of the water prison, looked back at the stunned Tirrant, shook his head, and chose to leave without saying anything.

The sirens continued to echo in his ears, and when he stepped out of the passage of the water dungeon and stepped out of the ground, he was surrounded by bloodied corpses.

And on the corpse stood two people, two men.

"Huh, it seems that there is a guard with decent strength."

As soon as Xia Lan appeared, she was locked in by the gaze of one of them.

"Maybe you should leave him to me." Duo Xiuen shook the blood flowing from the blade of his sword and looked at the gaze of the person beside him.

"I really can't see why people with good brains like to kill, do you think I'm right? Bloodthirsty Doshone? ”

Safir Lan unsheathed his sword and quipped at Doshon with his hands folded, he had shown by his actions that he had agreed to his request.

It would be a shame for him to deal with a new high-ranking swordsman, but it would be a good thing to hand over the other party to Duo Xiuen, after all, Duo Xiuen's strength was far inferior to his own, and it was probably not a big problem for him to kill a new high-ranking swordsman.

"Adjutant of the Second and Third Brigades of the Kingdom Guard, Doshon and Saffirland?"

Xia Lan crossed his sword to his chest, and couldn't help but sneer as they ignored his conversation.

He had seen Safhirlan, and when the Kingdom guards were ambushed that night, he had seen the scene of a fierce battle between the other party and the leader of the black-robed people, and if he was allowed to fight Safirlan, it would probably not be long before he would die under his sword.

As for Duo Xiuen, he already knew enough, if it weren't for Tirrant's unexpected accident that disrupted his plan, the other party might have become the target of his hunt by now.

Now, Saffirland is not ready to make a move, which is good news for him.

"Young one, don't you see that you actually know us?" Safhirlan looked at Xia Landau with some surprise.

"Are you here to kill Tirrant?" Xia Lan deliberately avoided his question.

"As you can see."

Safirlan smiled as he looked around at the corpses on the ground.

"And you? Do you want to be like them? ”

"Saffirland, please don't talk this nonsense!"

Duo Xiuen took a step forward and pointed his sword at Xia Lan and said coldly.

"No matter what he chooses, he will not escape the call of death in the end!"

"I'm not going to run away because I'm always looking for a suitable opponent to test my strength." Xia Lan snorted coldly, put on an attacking posture and said to Duo Xiuen: "And you are my best choice now!" ”

"Tsk, interesting—don't worry, I'm not going to interfere in your fight."

After hearing this, Safir Lan immediately withdrew from the battle circle that was about to break out and smiled.

"Hopefully your courage will last until the end." Duo Xiuen said coldly.

If I can't kill you, you have absolutely no chance to kill me.

Because, Xia Lan had already conceived a way out in her mind.
